But with what justification?"<BR/><BR/>Has Professor Dawkins every heard of a committed relationship? What part of the word "committed" doesn't he understand?<BR/><BR/>"he was entitled to lie about his private life"<BR/><BR/>Basically, Professor Dawkins seems to be appalled that someone would promise sexual fidelity to someone else and then later be criticized for breaking that promise and for lying about having broken it. He seems to be not only dishonest, but he is unable to understand the entire concept.<BR/><BR/>Carl Sagan was never clearly an atheist.

Or Sagan? <BR/><BR/>That isn't also wrong with yourself? <BR/><BR/>Dawkins and Sagan have divorce in their past - as I note, do you. <BR/><BR/>Outside of that, both of them are extremely accomplished, non-murderous sober, kind, etc. <BR/><BR/>It seems to me if you set the bar so high nobody - even yourself - can reach it. <BR/><BR/>As for your need for an example, I again offer myself as proof of the atheist morality as, unlike you, I have never been divorced. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, not all of us atheists can be 'prominent'. <BR/><BR/>By the way, you have to hand it to Dawkins, he has the balls to put all of his debates with religious folks up for people to view and reach their own conclusions. You can't say he hides from taking on those who disagree with him.Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784302405286800301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20994843.post-74939751473404900102007-12-05T09:05:00.000-05:002007-12-05T09:05:00.000-05:00Many scientists I'm sure are brilliant.
